PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Happy December everyone! We’re looking forward to a busy and festive
month here at RMS! Tomorrow, you are welcome to join us at our assembly at 10:15am. The New
Hampshire Fisher Cats Mascot will be here to explain their Reading Challenge! Students who read
five books outside the school day will receive two free tickets to a Fisher Cat’s game! We can also
become eligible for prizes based on participation. Happy Reading! I am also looking forward to the
Rindge Tree Lighting tomorrow evening and listening to our Chorus sing a few songs. Hope to see you
there!
OPERATION SANTA The Rindge Woman’s Club again this year will sponsor OPERATION SANTA.
OPERATION SANTA provides clothing and toys to Rindge children whose parents may be temporarily unable to
afford the Christmas they wish for. Requests listing each child’s name, gender, age, and proper sizes should be
submitted soon so that wish list tags may be placed on special Christmas trees in TD Bank and Wal-Mart after
November 21st. Fictitious names are placed on tags so that children’s identities remain confidential. Call Rae
DuVernay at 899-5658, mail requests to Rae at 22 Lapham Lane, Rindge, NH 03461, or drop off the information
at the Town Offices (there’s a mail slot in the door at the lower level). Parent’s names, address, and telephone
contact numbers (where the parent can be reached) must be included.
RAFFLE BASKETS The Annual PTO Basket Raffle has begun! This raffle will end on Saturday, December
5th. Tickets are .25 each or 5 for $1. Children can bring money to school and purchase their tickets in the office.
Children will be able to choose which baskets they would like to take a chance to win. The winners will be drawn
at the Recreation Department’s Santa’s Breakfast on Saturday morning at RMS. You need not be present to
win! (You can also purchase tickets at the Breakfast with Santa). There will also be a Bake Sale that day.
Money raised from the Baskets and Bake Sale benefits the PTO, which benefits the school! Thanks in advance
for your support!
9TH ANNUAL WINTER COAT EXCHANGE
Check out our coat exchange in the foyer! You can leave
children’s and adult’s winter wear, or take what you need, or both!
NOVEMBER FOOD PANTRY CHALLENGE! At the beginning of November, RMS staff and students have
been participating in a Food Drive Challenge. Grocery carts, one per grade level, were set up in the
entranceway for students to place their donations. The results are in! RMS collected a total of 1,976 items!
3rd place went to Kindergarten, who collected 338 items! Their artwork will be on display at Hannaford’s in
Rindge. 2nd place went to grade 3 who collected 381 items. They will receive an extra recess. The winning
grade level was grade 4 with 441 items. They will receive an extra recess as well as a special snack! Thank
you to all the parents, students, and staff for your generous donations!
HALLOWEEN CANDY BUYBACK RESULTS RMS collected 56 pounds of candy this year for Operation
Gratitude. Dr. Broome dropped off a check in the amount of $116.00 this week! Thanks so much for
